This dataset contains chemical and physical data collected on R/V Knorr during cruises KN199-04 and KN204-01 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2010-10-24 to 2011-12-10. These data include depth, depth_bottom, dissolved inorganic Carbon, sal_bottle, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, total alkalinity, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Automatic titrator and MARIANDA VINDTA 3C total inorganic carbon and titration alkalinity analyser. These data were collected by Nicholas Bates of Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences as part of the "U.S. GEOTRACES North Atlantic Transect (U.S. GEOTRACES NAT)" project and "U.S. GEOTRACES (U.S. GEOTRACES)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-03-26.

Acquisition Description:
Sampling and Analytical Methodology:
DIC and TA samples: Sampling from the Niskin followed standard CLIVAR-CO2, GEOTRACES and GO-ship protocols. Samples were collected in ~500 ml Pyrex bottles that were poisoned with 100 μl Hg2Cl, sealed and stored in the dark before analysis back in the laboratory at BIOS. DIC was determined using a high precision (0.05%CV) coulometer based instrument (VINDTA 3C)(Bates et al., 2012). TA was determined by a high- precision (<0.05%CV) potentiometric technique using a VINDTA 2S (Marianda, Germany). Replicate samples were also analyzed at BIOS. Both DIC and TA instruments were routinely calibrated using seawater Certified Reference Material (CRM) from A.G. Dickson, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and the accuracy of samples compared to CRM’s was less than 0.1% (2 μmoles kg-1).
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
